Deport the illegals first, and then enforce the laws!

Our guns didn't sneak into the country illegally so your typical liberal logic is typically illogical. Go fish.
Enforcing the laws already on the books means keeping everyone out unless they have gone through the proper channels.
Enforcing existing laws means detecting, detaining and deporting illegals.

Yeah sign of the times. I remember when cops had some discretion on what to do with you, it was like they were there to help society run smoother now they are there to uphold the law without regard for anything else. Can't see it getting better with the advent of cellphones that could record their letting someone go.

Since you want to compare guns to Illegals, let’s:
Your guns do “sneak” into the hands of criminals, gang members and crazies. Why don’t you just stop that like you’d stop the influx of Illegals?
You’re talking pipe dreams. Since when do you gun guys want to curtail the influx, sales and obtaining of guns? Not all Illegals are involved in other criminal activity just like not all your guns are used for criminal activity. Your answer to gun violence is to sell more guns…a large percentage going straight to the killers.Enforcing the laws already on the books means keeping everyone out unless they have gone through the proper channels.
Forty percent of all gun purchases are done without background checks. Something that is fine with the gun folks. So illegal aliens are bad but illegal guns are OK. Very logical.Enforcing existing laws means detecting, detaining and deporting Illegals.
Since you have difficulty following the conversation we were comparing the illegal use of firearms to the illegal use of an automobile. Both require criminal activity. Gun advocates suggest enforcing the gun laws to reduce these crimes. I used the same logic and suggested enforcing DMV laws to reduce illegal driving activity.
In case you haven’t checked lately, it is constitutional that being involved in one crime does not make you guilty of another. Ie, the entire life of an Illegal Alien is not illegal.

Hearthman,
Since you tout yourself as the logical one - to deport all law abiding Illegal Aliens to reduce DMV lawbreakers you must also agree to outlaw all law abiding gun ownership to reduce gun violence. Since you seem to support taking out the whole to reduce the few let’s start with guns.
Per our conversation: As we know, the term “law abiding” gun owner is in relation to gun laws just like the term “law abiding” Illegal Aliens is in relation to DMV laws…not to other unrelated crimes like sneaking into this country.
BTW – I am not sympathetic to Illegal Aliens. They have hurt my business over the last twenty years probably more than anyone here.

How do you and the gun folks define a gun purchase?
Hint: Is there a difference to you between a gun purchase, gun transfer, gifting a gun, acquiring (stealing) a gun and smuggling a gun. My comment did not discern between legal and illegal gun “purchases”.
Gun purchases don’t only take place over a counter. They also take place in the back seat of gangbanger’s cars. You have to include those too.
I will add that far more than 50% of all guns are owned or can be accessed by people that never passed a background check. Case in point, me. I bought rifles for my two sons because they were too young to file. Mrs. Lanza did the same thing. When you include all those people that were gifted guns and those that have access to legally and illegally purchased gun, I’d bet the figure has to be near 70%. But what responsible gun owner wants to think that that many guns are available to so many unqualified people? It is easier to argue the subject within the paradigm that you were taught to argue within and call everything else “bullspit”.
